a co-production of TIGERS' KITCHEN, FFT Düsseldorf and studiobühneköln
an OUTDOOR PLAY by studiobühneköln at TanzFaktur


Lonely I walk the streets,
Through the rain, through the night.
Why did you leave me,
Why did you do that?
(Tic Tac Toe)

What do mothers and magic have in common? They are elusive, or if they are, then when it's too late. In their new album, TIGERS' KITCHEN focus on the absences of their mothers, putting the spotlight on everything they believe has been hidden for too long. Just like the sawed-up virgins or female figures deleted from the narratives of the world, their mothers have also been swallowed up. By patriarchy, circumstances and their own memory.

It is therefore high time to clear the stage for the mothers who made them the daughters they are. What begins with tics and tricks does not stop at death and sadness and enchants our views on memories and memoirs. And with a whole lot of magic!
